A second wave of “nanomite” invasion has been recorded in Russia

In Russia, there is a second wave of invasion of “nanomites”: in the first days of autumn, more than 2 thousand people turned to doctors after being bitten. This was reported by the Shot Telegram channel.

So, in early September, 33-year-old Ekaterina from the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (KhMAO) was bitten on the neck by a tick. The girl pulled him out and took him for analysis - no infections were detected. It also became known about another girl who was vacationing with her parents in a village in the Ramensky district of the Moscow region and noticed a tick on her hand already at home. A resident of Klin near Moscow found a tick in a plate during a picnic, and a mushroom picker from Kaliningrad found a bloodsucker on himself after a hike in the forest.

Warm and humid weather extended the hunting season for ticks, and mushroom pickers and outdoor enthusiasts became the main targets. Hungry nymphs are especially active now—young ticks smaller than a poppy seed. It is extremely difficult to notice such a mini-pest on the body, and they can bite people right up to lasting frosts.
